Summer is officially upon us, and we are in summer survival mode. Summer means trying to beat the heat, have ALL the fun, and still get ALL the things done that we need to do. The PerformaSleep team has come up with five things that can help you maintain an active, healthy lifestyle during the summer months.
1. Sunscreen and Shade
A little sun is great, but too much sun can leave you uncomfortable and make it harder to rest at night. Even one sunburn can cause discomfort that interferes with sleep, so remember to use sunscreen, seek shade when needed, and reapply according to the product's instructions.
2. Electrolytes
Staying hydrated is key to accomplishing your daily tasks and enjoying all the activities summer has to offer. Proper hydration can also support your overall well-being and help you feel your best.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when spending time outside or being physically active. Electrolyte drinks and options such as coconut water may also be helpful after prolonged activity and sweating.
3. Eat Seasonally
Enjoy the fruits and vegetables of summer! Watermelon, cantaloupe, radishes, zucchini, cucumber, arugula, and berries are just a few seasonal options to add to your meals.
Eating a variety of fresh, whole foods can help support an active lifestyle. Pairing healthy eating habits with good sleep can also make it easier to maintain your energy throughout the day.
4. A Great Pair of Sandals
Flip-flops may be easy to throw on, but they do not always provide the support you need for a full day of summer activities. A comfortable, supportive pair of sandals can help you stay active while keeping your feet cool.
5. The PerformaSleep Mattress
Okay, we are biased, but summer heat can make a comfortable sleep environment even more important. A cooling mattress can help support a more comfortable sleep experience by addressing one of the biggest challenges of summer: sleeping in the heat.
If you are wondering how a cooling bed differs from a traditional option, this cooling mattress comparison can help you better understand the differences and features to consider.
Of course, your mattress is only one part of your sleep setup. Adding breathable sheets can complement a cooler and more comfortable bed, especially during warmer nights.
